COALINGA, Calif. (Feb. 26, 2012) – California-bred Lady Railrider, (Ride
the Rails x Lady Evergreen, by Lord Carson) has been retired from racing and
shipped to Harris Farms near Coalinga, CA to begin her new career as a
broodmare.

The 7-year-old dark bay or brown mare was bred and campaigned by her owners Mr.
& Mrs. Larry D. Williams, owners of Tree Top Ranch in Parma, ID.

Trained by Steve Specht for most of her career, Lady Railrider won stakes at 2,
3 and 4 including the California Cup Matron, Pacific Heights Stakes (twice) and
the Work the Crowd Stakes. A consistent performer, she was on the board in 26 of
35 lifetime starts and earned $603,041.

Lady Railrider has been booked to the Williams’ promising young stallion
Lucky Pulpit, California’s
Champion Freshman Sire of 2010, who is currently represented by Rousing Sermon,
G1-placed winner of the Cal Cup Juvenile and California Champion 2-year-old Male
of 2011.

Tree Top Ranch manager Dan Kiser commented, “Lady Railrider has been so good to
us and I am happy to be able to retire her sound. I think she will be a nice
addition to our broodmare band. Steve Specht did a great job training her and I
know she has a special place in his heart, too.”
